The Data

The DustPedia Data archive contains multiwavelength imagery for 875 nearby galaxies (every extended galaxy within 3000 km s-1 that was observed by the Herschel Space Observatory). The data hosted in the archive are all the available maps for the DustPedia sample coming from the GALEX, SDSS, DSS, 2MASS, WISE, Spitzer, Herschel, and Planck surveys. In the left-hand side of each entry some basic galaxy properties are provided, as well as, photometry cutouts (in png format) for each galaxy with the exact aperture used for the photometry, per band, and the annuli used to calculate the background.

The user can retrieve all the available maps (and in some cases its associated error map) in the database in fits format. All maps are in units of Jy pixel-1 except for DSS (left as photographic densities). The user can search with Galaxy Name, Hubble Stage (T), Velocity (in km s-1), Inclination Angle (in degrees), and size (D25 in arcmin). In each search parameter the user can define the range desired but also have the option to define only the lower or the higher limit. A "show all results in a single page" button allows the user to print all results on a single page.
